Re: role playing at Redemption
by Steve Rogerson 26 Jan '01

Nik Whitehead is running a B7 role playing game starting Saturday morning at Redemption. Those who were there in 99 might remember what it was like from then. -- cheers Steve Rogerson http://homepages.poptel.org.uk/steve.rogerson Redemption: The Blake's 7 and Babylon 5 convention 23-25 February 2001, Ashford, Kent http://www.smof.com/redemption

Ellynne G. wrote re Blake's refusal to let Vila treleport to safety in Countdown: >And, what would have happened if Blake let Vila go and he was clogging up the teleport just when Avon needed an emergency out?< That seems unlikely as the countdown was still at fifty and didn't go that fast. But it would be an argument for letting Vila teleport up immediately, so he couldn't clog the system later. It seems to be a good argument for having Blake teleport up also, to leave the system free for Avon and Grant when they would need it :-) Marian

Hence my question. >Speaking specifically in regard to Ashton Press, it's one of my favorite places to send stories. I received my first ever fanfic acceptance letter from Ashton Press; I can't tell you how long it took because I don't remember. But it was well worth the wait. Ann Wortham has been an encouraging, helpful, gently instructive editor.

And I know that she's had many real life demands over the years that have seriously cut into her fan time. I'm very pleased that despite all of her trials and tribulations, she's still crazy enough to be willing to do more zines. < Thank you for the information. This means my failure to get them to reply must be put down to simple if continuing misfortune and not, as I was beginning to assume, to a deliberate policy on their side. (Well, a B7 fan is allowed a certain amount of paranoia, surely? :-) ) And now I'm really going to shut up about the subject. Marian

I asked >>Why didn't Vila just tell Blake to get lost and teleport anyway? Sally suggested: > Why doesn't Vila just take two steps to one side, say "well can *I* go > then?" and take silence (or the abstracted semi-shrug, semi-nod as >assent? Why not indeed? Its a technique I use at work all the time, as I suapect plenty of us do. Works just about every time. > Maybe he doesn't actually want to leave Blake alone. I am usually quite happy to suspend disbelief in a good cause, but I have my limits <g>. Cheers Chris

Me, Harriet, >>(as in 'put these four TV shows in numerical order'). >Would this be as in Moonbase Three, Babylon 5, Blake's 7, etc etc? Yup, only H said they weren't all SF shows. One was 'two of a kind' apparently, and he couldn't remember the others. (Take three girls? News at ten?) >Sounds like easy money to me... Ah, but think of the pressure Alison

Call for information

It's that time again. I'm working on the information column for the next issue of "On the Wing," the Tarrant APA, which is due out in mid-February. If anyone has any information they'd like me to include, please send it along (via personal e-mail) by the end of the month. I try to catch and mark for collection all information posts that are sent to the various lists, but if you'd like to make sure I collected *your* particular information post, feel free to check. We try to list any and all information that might be of interest to our members: zines for sale, zines (paper and web) seeking submissions, conventions, sightings of B7 performers to watch for, audio and video material that features the B7 performers, URLs for new websites, etc. I know several of our hard-working editors are hoping to have zines ready for REDEMPTION. I don't know if you have ordering information available yet. I'm also happy to include pre-ordering information: content lists, teasers from stories, and the like. Thanks in advance for any assistance provided, Carol Mc

I'd hate to have to do without the bit at the end where Vila goes to untie Avon. It's so sweet. <g> Mistral -- "Ad hoc, ad loc, and quid pro quo. So little time!

Whew! Someone else going who isn't a raving B5 fan! Yes, I'm going! (waves at everyone else who will be there) I haven't been to a Redemption before, but from all reports, you've definitely picked a good convention to go to as your first!
